Forums - Nintendo - de Blob - Great reviews but are you buying it?

I already bought it, just have to wait until Monday for it to arrive.

I bought it on day one along with Wario Land. I've only had about a half hour to spend with it so far but it was a very enjoyable half hour. These two games along with Mega Man 9 should keep me occupied until Guitar Hero: World Tour comes out in a month.



I'll probably get it this holiday season, I've got too much to do right now to sit down and play games for any long period of time. All of the reviews suggest that more than 45min - 1hr play times per level aren't uncommon. I will get it eventually though!



I will rent it... I have too many unfinished games on my hand

I'm not planning on getting it, because I'vev already bought it.

It really is the most polished third-party game on Wii right now. Not a trace of PS2 in its blood.

The gameplay is great, especially if you like to challenge yourself by running through as fast as possible or going for 100% completion. If you love platformers and collecting, this game was made for you.

I only got a brief taste of multiplayer, but I found it fun. It's not a game that I'd recommend buying for the multiplayer alone, but it's not an unpolished lame afterthought, either. Adds some nice value to the title.

The jumping mechanic takes a little getting used to. I'm referring to the way Blob clings to walls and slides along them. When you use it properly, it's pretty satisfying, but if you muck it up it can get frustrating.

I'm going to buy it next month along with Wario Land, and maybe another game too.



Yeah, I'm in the same boat as many here.

1 - Havn't finished a lot of games I have, actually havn't finished any...

2 - Lots of good games coming out or are out that I'm interested in

3 - $50 while I'm sure it's worth it, is not pocket change I have to spare at the moment nor do I have time for another game currently

I'm afraid this great game may be overlooked by many. Always a challenge with any new IPs. Hopefully it'll have long legs as we all pick it up later when we have time/money and the hype of other games dies away.

Be a shame for it to be another Zack & Wiki though.



 

I have it I will post my impressions later today..



Former something....

I have quite a few games I haven't finished yet (working on Okami and RE:UC now). But I will be picking up de Blob (and Wario) any day now.



I got it as you can se from my games collection or the de blob game page. And I absolutely love it. Deserves its good reviews.
